Ingredients

1 bottle prosecco, chilled (750ml)
2 cups cranberry juice unsweetened or sweetened, depending on your preference
½ cup orange liqueur e.g., Grand Marnier or Triple Sec
½ cup brandy
1 cup fresh cranberries
1 orange thinly sliced into rounds
1 apple green or red, cored and thinly sliced
1 cinnamon stick
3-4 sprigs of fresh rosemary
Optional: 1-2 tablespoons sugar or honey for added sweetness I only use this with a dry Prosecco

Instructions

Prepare the fruit and spices. Combine the cranberries, orange slices, apple slices, cinnamon stick, and rosemary sprigs in a large pitcher or punch bowl.
Mix the base. Add the cranberry juice, orange liqueur, brandy, and sugar or honey (if using) to the fruit. Stir well to dissolve the sugar and combine the flavors.
Chill. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Add prosecco. Just before serving, pour the chilled prosecco into the pitcher. Gently stir to mix without losing too many bubbles.
Serve. Pour into glasses over ice if desired, ensuring each glass gets a mix of fruit. Garnish with an extra sprig of rosemary or a cinnamon stick for a festive touch.

Notes

For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the prosecco with sparkling white grape juice or soda water, and omit the orange liqueur and brandy (in that case, definitely omit the sugar).
Pomegranate seeds make a beautiful addition for extra festive flair and flavor.
Serve in clear glasses to showcase the vibrant colors of the sangria and fruit.
